Got this copmputer off craigslist for $35 bucks it consisted of
Abit aa8x mobo with 3.0ghz 775 cpu
6800gt
2gb ddr2 mem
no hdd.
Ive tried looking up this mobo but cant find any thing on it im curious to see if it will take a pentium d dual core cpu or anything in the core2duo line of cpu's

Unfortunately, no. The Intel 925XE chipset that it's based on officially supported only single-core Netburst Pentium 4 CPUs. That particular board does not support any of the dual-core CPUs at all.

yea i ended up trying a few pentium ds and a couple core 2 duos to no luck but got a 3.4ghz single core in it and clocked it to 4.22ghz running stable so far.

dang i remember this board lol it gets really hot and no you cant put a pentium d or core 2 duo inside of this not supported. Did he put the ram fan in there?
